Anyways, I loved the way, Alankar phrased this following part
And so begins a cat and mouse game on the highways of Rajasthan. A drill ensues;1. We find Spiderweb waiting for us at a toll bridge or a dhaba;2. He explains to us the significance of the said location if there is one, shares stories about previous rides on the same or similar highways, gives us an indication of what to expect next, shares the excitement or lack thereof of the road so far and tries to convince us, that given enough time, he, Razor and Shiva (his favourite biking team apparently) could bike over Mount Everest's tallest peaks with their hands tied behind their backs, blindfolded no less and yeah, they wouldn't need fuel for the mighty Karizma detests fuel. Of course I exaggerate... no wait, I don't. But I do jest;3. We, Motorbreath and I, nod our heads in agreement for lack of options;4. He proceeds to accusing Motorbreath of riding slowly - "You were riding at 80kmph the whole time";5. Motorbreath denies the accusation asking him to ask me how fast he was going - a consistent range of 100 to 110 if you ask me;6. Spiderweb chooses not to ask me for the facts aren't important; the entire charade is to try and prod Motorbreath to ride harder - a pointless effort for Motorbreath's crippled steed can do no more regardless of Motorbreath's wishes (It's funny how "If wishes were horses" seems appropriate here but I will refrain from going that road). Of course logic has no place in the discussions either;7. Motorbreath loses his cool, then his breath, lights up a smoke, hurls abuses, smokes some more, refuses to eat, smokes some more;8. Spiderweb continues to assault him verbally, while asking him to eat like a caring big brother - an amusing and confusing mix of love and hate;9. Motorbreath eats;10. More discourses by Spiderweb on how he, Razor and Shiva achieved that which mere mortals could not achieve;11. A mandatory brief discourse in the superiority of Karizma over Pulsar;12. Motorbreath promises to quit smoking by the next stop, as a preventive measure against AMS;13. Motorbreath smokes some more; 14. Bills are paid from the common pool;15. Gloves are worn;16. Motorbreath explains to me why his bike won't go any faster and how he has a feeling of animosity towards Spiderweb;17. While he talks and I listen, Spiderweb roars his engine and darts off;18. Spiderweb is a dot in the horizon.--------------------------------------------------------------------------
